Drum Birthing

All drums and rattles are made in a mindful way, and within ceremony.

​

We offer beautiful drums and rattles for purchase, and we offer group drum making workshops. These days are run here at our centre and are limited  to three people at a time, so you can get the most from your experience. Our drums are made in the traditional way using lacing cut from the same hide, thus keeping the spirit of the animal within the drum.

We will show you the full art of drum making, from cutting both the hide and lacing; to the art of lacing and tightening your drum. It is your energy, your work, and your love that is going into your drum. You can create 16 inch or 18 inch hoop drum, with a choice of Horse, Stag or Deer hides.

A Drum of Your Own

A drum will find you when you are ready, and believe me when I tell you they are very addictive. It will be the sound that calls to you, the first time you hear its beat you will know that it resonates with you at your frequency then you will find you have drums for different purposes. One will be your healing drum, one your journey drum, one that you play for fun and dance to and so on and so on. 

Your own drum is very special and will, with the right intent work with you as you journey the Shamanic path. Treat it with respect, they are not just for hanging on the wall to make the lounge look good, or as I have seen, large drums being used as a coffee table.

They are a living Spirit and need to be held in that place of respect and honour.

​Drums can be bought in a lot of places. I would suggest that you know the source, know the drum maker, or better still make your own.

I am happy to recommend my dear friend Patrick Pinson, and you can see his drums on the link page of my web site.

Making your own drum is a truly rewarding experience and I would say to you to go ahead, be brave and go for it.

I can tell you now that the drum you make and put your love, intent and purpose in will be a very special drum indeed.

Go, have fun, and meet the horse that will carry you far, to help not only others but you yourself.
